Long ears rise above Reily the kangaroo’s rounded blue head, while a white muzzle and dark eyes give her a distinctive face. A small coral-colored joey peeks from the pouch at the front of her belly, framed by short white arms and rounded thighs. This free kangaroo amigurumi crochet pattern includes the mother and an optional baby, along with the long tapered tail that completes her upright shape.

The Pouch and Final Assembly
The muzzle is worked first, followed by the head, while the body narrows into a raised neck through continuous rounds. The ears and arms remain unstuffed; the thighs are filled during assembly, and the tail is stuffed firmly. The pouch is crocheted back and forth in rows, with an extra row when the baby is included. Step photos guide the placement of the head, limbs, pouch, and tail during assembly. With the specified yarn, the figure measures approximately 7 inches tall.

Notes
• Work the rounds in continuous spirals, without joining.
• Use a stitch marker to identify the first stitch of each round.
• Use white for the muzzle, arms, and hind legs, and your chosen main color for the larger head section, body, ears, thighs, tail, and pouch.
• The baby kangaroo is optional. Its head is worked separately, with the ears formed directly during Rnd 7.
• The pouch has two finishing options depending on whether the baby kangaroo is included.
